Those are beautiful...

How you like the ride? I've been in A1 GLi with the Variant II setup but I can't tell in the pic if it's the same or not. It rodes pretty good but it's a lot of cash...
How would you compare these to to the Bilsteins Sports? I'm debating on what to get for my rabbit.

VWRus,
Yeah that's a dent.....I have no friggen idea how it got there but it's there.....I guess that's an excuse to get the whole car blocked and painted....

EricB,
She's on a no bumps diet at that ride height. No rubbing even when I hit a nice bumb but I wouldn't want to do it again. It will probably get raised a little. Or I may leave it there and buy some 45 series rubber.
Chapel,
I can't really say what I paid but I think my friend Jay doubleJmotorwerks.com is selling mk1 non adjustables for like $849. Trying to keep it lower than the other guy.
The ride is stiff but it is sooooo smooth. I like it alot. Keep in mind that this car will never see a track. I bought coils because I didn't want to buy springs again and not be happpy with the ride or the drop. This way I can change the drop to whatever I want. And the ride is excellent.

well.... i would have to disagree with ya there.. my rocco is just as low and handles very nice[HR][/HR]​
It's well known that the VW suspension design doesn't work well when significantly lowerd. The front roll-center is underground, and the bump-steer is very bad. It has to do w/ the lower control arm angle and the tie-rod angle.
